At Interior Health (IH), there are many opportunities for medical staff to advance their careers through professional development and leadership programs.
One such program is the IH NAVIG8 Emerging Medical Leaders Program. Launched in 2019, NAVIG8 is a two-year, in-house leadership program. It’s designed to equip new and emerging medical leaders with the skills needed to excel in health-care leadership roles, while building a community of medical leaders who can help continuously improve health care.
NAVIG8 is a one-of-a-kind opportunity and is the only health authority medical leadership program in Canada recognized by the Canadian Society of Physician Leaders as a pathway to certification as a physician executive.
Through case studies, workshops and experiential learning projects, participants explore the characteristics that define successful leadership. The program provides hands-on experience, mentorship from senior leaders, and practical tools to that support participants to lead effectively in a dynamic health-care environment.
